Dear PW: Why not probe Stark and McNerney why they voted to block the Keystone Pipeline which would create over 20,000 jobs?

So the American economy is on a death spiral as is our national defense. And our (mis-) Representatives Pete Stark and Jerry McNerney vote AGAINST strengthening our economy, national defense, and our energy independence.

They both...not surprisingly...voted AGAINST the Keystone pipeline (as did most other like-minded America-hating Democrats.)

Pleasanton Weekly Editors...here is your chance to actually be caught practicing a "random act of journalism" ... by probing them as to why they ... and other democrats... hate this country so much they they want to bring it to its knees and below?

What hypocrites. The Pelosi Dems preached stop buying petroleum from foreign enemies. We should be trying to use mostly petroleum from our continent,and canada is a friendly neighbor.....of course we have plenty within the US, but Dems won't let us use our own.
Illogical. Hypocritical.
Aside from petroleum for energy uses, jobs, jobs, jobs are our other
other problem. US must generate 280,000 jobs every MONTH for FIVE YEARS, to have the jobs we had at the start of this recession ! !
All intelligent people know both of these issues, so why are we not
moving on that mid-section of pipeline....why radical GREEN POLITICS ! ? ! ?

I am with you, Scream!

Since the PW won't make the effort to probe our mis-Representatives Stark and McNerney, I think we should at least demand a response by the PW as to why they support these anti-American Congressmen. Also why does the PW apparently support the blocking of over 20,000 American jobs from the Keystone Pipeline?
